They started on this project about the same time as TM and their CHT's vendor is Zyxel.
Looks like we are always slower than the competition.

Taiwan is spending USD$1.5billion to upgrade their nationwide broadband network to NGN fiber over a preiod of the next 5 years.the amount which they are planning to spend is just about the same amount which is that of Malaysia's National Broadband plan.

Both have started to take off about the same time but Taiwan has already started to roll our VDSL2 June last year?

How about TMnut?

News:

Taiwan-based Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) plans to invest NT$46 billion (US$1.5 billion) to expand its fiber-optic communications networks from 2008-2012, with NT$40 billion to be allocated for the purchase of networking equipment from Taiwan-based makers, CHT said at a seminar.

The investment in the fiber-optic networks is part of CHT's next-generation network (NGN) project, which requires a total capital outlay of NT$120 billion in a five-year period ending 2012, the company said.

The purchase of the fiber-optic network equipment during the five-year project will include equipment such as VDSL2, MSAN (multi-service access network), EPON (Ethernet passive optical network), home gateways, CPE (customer premises equipment) and L2/L3 Ethernet switches, among others, CHT noted.

For 2008, the planned purchase of fiber-optic network equipment is expected to top NT$9 billion, including NT$2 billion for VDSL2 and EPON equipment, CHT detailed.

Since CHT has stepped up its cooperation with Taiwan-based network equipment makers in recent years, the ratio of network equipment purchased from local makers will remain at a high level this year, according to market sources.

The ratio of the purchase of network equipment from local makers to CHT's total procurement stood at 58.8% in 2004 before climbing to 65% in 2006 and 65.7% in 2007, CHT data showed.

Taiwan's leading network-equipment makers, including D-Link and Zyxel Communications, are vying for the orders from CHT, said market sources.

Yes but Taiwan is a smaller country / they are closer to the USA / they didn't have to spend their technology budget sending a tourist into space / excuses / excuses / excuses.

taiwan bigger than malaysia la my friend..
if u talk abouthong kong, its correct...
for taiwan, it can consider as advance country...
same type with singapore
but us.... dreaming as advance country... but reality still 3rd country

In what way? Only thing bigger about Taiwan is the height of its tallest building.

Taiwan: 35,980 km2, population 22,858,872
Malaysia: 329,750 km2, population 24,821,286

Yes, no doubt Taiwan is smaller than Malaysia its size is just right.
It's about the size of all the west coast states of Peninsular Malaysia combined from Perlis to Malacca minus Johor.

The Republic of China(R.O.C) is Asia's second most advanced economy after Japan.

Despite all these, they too have their problems.Among them are earthquakes and the notorious Parliament brawl of real democrazy.Fortunately, the chairs in Taiwan's Parliament are not detachable.I can't imagine what will happen if Malaysia adopts such Parliamentary brawls as well.
